If you have been around different breeds of dogs, you will recognise the usefulness of the alsatian or german sheperd, strong and intelligent and very loyal…. This dogs will sense your emotions….fear,anxiety,not been intimadated by them and so on….. To me this is the best breed chosen by us, forget the pitbull and rots. Some countries go further by crossing wolfs,with their domestic dogs……for the various dog jobs, such as this.

@tim I concur but have you also noticed the trend with Belgium mals ? especially amongst spec ops in the US. Apparently, the mals are more nibble and also better work dogs. In my short life span I have come across several breeds. The German shepherd are definitely worth their amount in Gold.
